Its been a little bit since i last listened to really any black metal and i was missing it a little so i decided why not get back into the rhythm of one of my favourite genres and the album i picked was a more modern black metal that i have seen a decent amount on here and other places online but never that interested to hear it until now. For melodic black metal standards this is pretty good as i am not big into this select style but this is one of the better ones i know of as the vocals were ... read more
Piñata is the 2014 album by rapper Freddie Gibbs and producer Madlib which these two together might be the best duo in hip hop which i whole heartedly think is the truth as i don't think there is any other rapper and producer duo who does it like them, As we all know Madlib is one of the best producers of all time so he doesn't really need any introduction at all but on this album he might've made his best beats in my opinion which some may disagree which i can understand ... read more
Clams Casino got to be one of the best producers maybe ever in my opinion as he's one of my favourite but i guess you can disagree with that but you cant disagree with him being one of the best in cloud rap as this collection of beats/songs show why he is so praised. I'm God is just one of the most amazing songs ever and i think most people can recognise it very well as its super popular and for good reason as its super well produced and Imogen Heap also does beautifully on it too. ... read more
He might be the devil because he is just saying the most crazy shit ever on this which i don't really care for that much but i wish it was more interesting in his lyrics but i can look past it, but his rapping also wasn't my favourite as it is that more yelled aggressive style of rapping which is something i don't love that much but i can accept it here as the beats were incredible as they were a mix of that more atmospheric style of cloud rap and the more aggressive trap sound ... read more
I don’t listen to much of anything to do with noise as I don’t love it that much but I’ve known about this album for a while and since it’s noisegrind I thought I might enjoy it quite a bit more and I did as I had a nice time I suppose, while I can’t really talk about it much musically as it’s kind of just the same for 10 minutes but the more grind tracks were good but the noise ones were a little weaker but still could be enjoyable but the last song was a ... read more
Beautiful, ethereal, majestical and overall a magnificent piece of art that is truly one of a kind as nothing i have ever heard in my entire life sounds any bit similar to this and that's a good thing as nothing can replicate the sounds on this album from the wide array of electronic and orchestral sound mixed together made it come out like a eclipse in a way where its stunningly beautiful and just in awe but has this sort of ever looming presence which is something i loved from this. The ... read more
Around the same level as the first Alfredo but a tiny bit weaker at times due to the longer track list but didn't effect is that much really more so just a small personal issue. Like the last album of these two its great in terms of rapping and production but to me personally i feel like it could go that next step and deliver something more worthwhile for me as this album is great but i don't think i will really remember much from it unfortunately. Freddie does great like every album ... read more
Been seeing this album for ages now but never wanted to listen to it that much since the cover sucks ass so i didn't have much hope for it even if its quite high rated and I've heard good stuff for it so i decided to do it as I've been on quite the streak of hip hop albums so why not just do it now. I didn't know what to expect from this but since its jazz rap i knew i would like it somewhat but not to this extent as the production on the whole album is top tier as this ... read more
The College Dropout is one of the most important rap albums of all time from how its influenced a lot and basically every rap album after it in a way but also it being the first album of one of the greatest artist of all times so it makes sense why this album is so loved and highly praised and i will add to that love and praise as basically anyone who listens to this likes it and if you don't like it something might be wrong with you. Kanye on this proves already on his debut album why he ... read more
Holy shit Mastodon are back with a new single which I’m unsure if this is for a new album or just new music they wanted to make but either way I’m so excited as if the album is like this might be in their top three albums but that’s crazy hope I have. Mastodon are one of my favourite bands but now Brent is gone it does feel like something is missing a little which does pain me but even with him gone Mastodon still make something amazing as it goes from quite aggressive to a ... read more
Boldy James is a name I've known for years as i used to listen to a few of his songs a while back but not anytime in the past two years so when i saw this album was by him and as high rated i got very curious and I'm glad i was as this is excellent in terms of Boldy's lyrics and overall rapping performance and then Sterling's amazing production as the jazz and more gangsta rap sounds blended very well and i was surprised on the secondary genre being chamber jazz but i will ... read more
Rodeo is the pinnacle of hip hop from the 2010s onwards nothing else released after this dares touches the pure phenomenal quality of Travis Scott's debut album, nothing else from him even comes close to this album unfortunately as he really should be able to reach the artistic quality of this but for some reason he just cant. While this is a relisten i originally heard this album back in 2020 or 2021 and since then its had songs in my constant rotation for years but i have never done a ... read more
Finally i have gotten around to listen to Alfredo after not really ever wanting to for like three years maybe but now i can actually appreciate and understand the love this album gets. While not Freddie at his best but its definitly top three performances by him so far from what I've heard and i love his voice which is kind of the main reason i like his music but just his flows and bars are great like usual Freddie. Also The Alchemist was amazing on this like i expected but the praise i ... read more
After a much needed relisten my standings stay the same on this album but i can appreciate it more now and actually review it now. I think everyone can tell why i have not give this a 100 rating and the reason why is the song Moonchild that song is a disappointment in everything its the most pointless and boring song ever to be on a album like this it ruins the most perfect flow of songs ever and hold this album back so much. Now to move onto the four phenomenal tracks and what can i really say ... read more
This is my fourth time trying to listen to this album and the previous three time i couldn't make it past the first half as i hated this a lot but now on my fourth try i finally get it this is phenomenal from Commons rapping performance and lyrical quality to the production from Kanye and J Dilla was some of the best of all time. 11 tracks of pure beauty not one second is wasted on this album at all everything is spectacular and one of the best listening experiences ever. Commons flows and ... read more
Probably should've listened to this when it dropped as i saw it so much last year but i didn't really care for much hip hop then so i skipped on it until now. I will say this is a great album but based off what i have heard about this i was a little let down as from seeing a lot of people give it a 10/10 i thought this must be something phenomenal but it was just good to great at times which is still a great thing for this album. The performances from Pusha T and Malice were amazing ... read more
4eva Is a Mighty Long Time is one of the best and most complete hip hop albums of all time as if you look at 22 songs you would think there's no way this will be interesting enough to keep me engaged long enough but this is one of he most interesting and engaging hip hop albums i have ever heard. Big K.R.I.T. delivers some of the best flows and bars of all time in hip hop which might be glaze but to me its the truth as the way he raps over all the different beats and styles its amazing as ... read more
My all time favourite deathcore band so I'm not sure why i didn't review these two songs way earlier since i did hear them a while ago but anyway these two songs are fucking amazing just like all their music and they should be the example of all modern deathcore which i hope happens. These two songs are brutal with some of my favourite vocals sine the switch between the two vocalists is sick and one of my favourite parts and the guitar tone too is peak and the nasty snare tone is the ... read more
I didn't have much expectations for this as it more a spontaneous listen since my wonderful friend @luvlavliv told me i should do it which she did the same for Fancy That and that mixtape was a lot better then this one, as unfortunately i didn't enjoy this to much besides maybe the first two songs and the last ones were decent i guess but not something I'd relisten to maybe ever but i suppose i can say i appreciate the artistic value and the effort she put into this, but again ... read more
No idea why its taken me this long to listen to this album as I've known about Lupe for over 3 years minimum but i guess i just never was interested enough to fully hear it until now and I'm really glad I've got to it now as this album is amazing from his rapping to the production it was amazing and way better then i expected. I will say this album does feel a little long at times but it doesn't really change the overall score to much just it stopped it from being something ... read more
